Simple image manipulation question

[AlienBaby]

Hi,


Could anyone point me toward the right modules etc.. that would help
with;

loading an image file
rendering some text onto that image
saveing the image file


I've looked into Tkinter, but that seems to require working with
canvases etc.., but I do not need to actually display the image, just
render some text onto it and save it again.

PIL looked promising, but I couldn't see how to put text into the
image once loaded.


Any help much appreciated,

Thanks,

Matt.

A 15-second long Google search gives me:
